Show Notes
Electric vehicle sales in Australia skyrocketed in March, with over fifteen thousand eight hundred new EVs sold, making up fourteen point six percent of all new car buys. This surge is attributed to drivers avoiding high fuel costs, which hit three dollars a liter for diesel amid Middle East tensions. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids also saw increases, while petrol and diesel sales dropped. However, the boom faced a setback over Easter when videos of long waits at single chargers went viral, sparking frustration among drivers. Experts call for more public chargers, especially in regional areas, to prevent the EV party from fizzling out.
